During the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian was deeply favored by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he was invincible in the middle of the dynasty, and he could strike a certain blow to those who opposed him, and only those officials who defected to Wei Zhongxian could gain a firm foothold in the DYNASTY. After Wei Zhongxian became powerful and powerful, he thought of bringing up his relatives, and he also wanted to marry the big clan where he was born, and find a good marriage for his nephews.
At that time, in Suning, Gansu, there was a large family in the local area, known locally as the Tan family, which was the local old family. When Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, he regarded the princes and generals of the imperial court as if they were dirt scum. However, because he grew up in Suning, he saw that the Tan family was like a famous and prestigious family like Wang and Xie in the past six dynasties.
He wanted to propose marriage to one of his nephews, who were extremely close to him, and wanted to get the daughter of the Tan family, and the two families were married. Coincidentally, at this time, Tan Fu, the younger son of the Tan clan, was participating in the township examination of this section in the capital, so Wei Zhongxian prepared wine and forced Tan Fu to come home, hoping to discuss the marriage with him in person. Tan Fu thought about it again and again, thinking that if he allowed it at this time, the disaster would be in the future, and if he did not allow it, the disaster would be in the present, and he could not decide in a hurry.
Tan Fu told Wei Zhongxian that his father was still there, that he was not yet the head of the family, that it was difficult for him to make his own decisions, and that he had to get his father's consent. Wei Zhongxian said, "This is easy, you hurry up and write a letter, I can immediately send it to your father's hand." That night, Tan Fu's father, Tan Fu, dreamed that his late father was supervising his homework as usual, and came up with two questions: one was "Confucius Yuenuo" and the other was "Just Returning to His Body."
When he was thinking about how to answer these two exam questions, he was suddenly awakened by the knock at the door of the house, and he got his son's letter from the hand of the official messenger and suddenly understood. So he wrote a letter to his son Tan Fu that he would allow the two families to marry, and at the same time said in the letter that his condition was very dangerous, urging his son Tan Fu to come back quickly.
Suning in Gansu was about eight hundred miles away from the capital, and when the letter returned, the genius was slightly bright, and the acting had not yet ended. After receiving the letter, Tan Fu and Wei Zhongxian said that Yun Marriage and his father were seriously ill and wanted to rush home, and Wei agreed. Tan Fu then hurriedly packed up his bags, and on the way home, the local officials greeted and waited for the banquet, and the real succession continued, they seemed to have received some news before, and invited Tan Fu to the banquet for the purpose of stalking.
When Tan Fu and his party arrived home, both father and son said that they were sick and could not go out. This year was the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and only three years later, Wei Zhongxian was defeated because of the incident, and the Tan family was spared from disaster because they did not participate in it. After the matter was decided, Tan Fu's father once traveled around the countryside in a small car with his family and said to his friend: "I can't go out of the house for three years, and I only get to see flowers and drink in this day, which is really dangerous!" Friends admired his insight.
When Tan Fu was leaving in the capital, Wei Zhongxian once gave him a small portrait and said, "First let the new daughter-in-law know my face." Tan Fu's friend had seen this small portrait, and on the portrait Wei Zhongxian looked slender and slender, his face was white and red, his cheekbones on both sides were slightly prominent, his cheeks were slightly narrow, his eyes seemed to be drunk, and the part above the eyebrows of a crouching silkworm was thinly painted red, like a slight swelling. Dressed in bright red clothes, nine gold seals were conspicuously arranged on the coffee table next to the seat.
